REP. Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo of the second district of Pampanga gave up his re-election bid in favor of his mother, President Gloria Arroyo, who has made an unprecedented move of an outgoing president running for a congressional seat.
But it doesn’t mean Mikey will be out of the House of Representatives.
It has been reported that Mikey is the first nominee of ” Ang Galing Pinoy,” the party-list group registered as representing the marginalized tricycle drivers and security guards.
Tonette Orejas, Pampanga correspondent of The Philippine Daily Inquirer, sent us this photo with a note: “The name of ‘Ang Galing Pinoy’ has been on the tarpaulin of the Lakas-Kampi in Pampanga long before Mikey told reporters he was ‘invited’ as a nominee of various party list groups.”
